5. When the vehicle’s interior has warmed-up, or
before you leave the vehicle, be sure to turn the
seat heater system off.
CAUTION
•Do not use the seat heater system for a long
period of time when the engine is not running,
otherwise the battery could run down.
•Do not put anything on the seat that insulates
the heat, such as a blanket, cushion, seat
cover, etc. Otherwise, the seat may overheat.
•Do not place anything hard or heavy on the
seat or pierce it with a pin or similar object.
This may damage the heater.
•Any liquid spilled on a heated seat should be
removed immediately with a dry cloth.
•When cleaning the seat, never use benzine,
thinner or any similar materials.
•If any abnormalities are found or the heating
does not operate, turn off the switch and have
the system checked by a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop.1.Power outlet

has been properly disabled.
See “Warning/indicator lights and audible
reminders” in the “2. Instruments and controls” sec-
tion for further details on the
Intelligent Key warn-
ing light/Intelligent Key indicator light.
KEYFOB OPERATION FAILURE
The keyfob may not work properly in several situa-
tions as listed below:
•When the keyfob battery is dead.
•When the locking/unlocking system is used con-
tinuously, an anti lock-abuse system prevents the
lock motors from overheating and disables the
keyfob locking operation for a short period of
time.
•When the door handle is pulled while the keyfob
is being activated.
See “Integrated Keyfob/Intelligent Key battery
replacement” in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section for battery replacement and
requested battery type.

WARNING
•The heater and air conditioner operate only
when the engine is running.
•Never leave children or adults who would nor-
mally require the support of others alone in
the vehicle. Pets should not be left alone ei-
ther. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls and inadvertently
become involved in a serious accident and
injure themselves. On hot, sunny days, tem-
peratures in a closed vehicle could quickly
become high enough to cause severe or pos-
sibly fatal injuries to people or animals.
•Do not use the recirculation mode for long
periods as it may cause the interior air to be-
come stale and the windows to fog up.
•Do not adjust the heating and air conditioning
controls while driving so that full attention may
be given to vehicle operation.
NOTE
•Condensation forms inside the air condition-
ing unit when the air conditioner is running,
and is safely discharged underneath your ve-
hicle.
•Traces of water on the ground are therefore
normal.

Operating tips
•In order to improve the heater operation, clear
the snow and ice from the wiper blade and air
inlet in front of the windscreen.
•After parking in the sun, drive for two or three
minutes with the windows open to vent hot air
from the passenger compartment. Then close
the windows to allow the acceleration of the air
conditioner’s cooling operation.
•Keep the windows closed while the air condi-
tioner is operating.
•The air conditioning system should be operated
for about 10 minutes, at least once a month. This
helps prevent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
•If the coolant temperature warning light comes
on, turn the air conditioner off. For additional
information, see “Engine overheat” in the “6. In
case of emergency” section.
•If the engine coolant reaches an extremely high
temperature, the air conditioning system will au-
tomatically turn off. This may happen for example
if the engine runs at idle speed for a long time on
a hot day.
